“Derck & Edson Associates and our project manager, Chris Brown, are a pleasure to work with. Their staff constantly offers a number of creative solutions to each problem we have given them. They are responsive and take as much pride in our campus as we do here at Allegheny. And, most importantly, they listen. Visitors and staff alike exclaim that the campus has never looked better, and that is due in large part to the work of Derck & Edson Associates.”

Cliff WillisDirector of Physical Plant - Allegheny College

“I just wanted you to know how easy the plan for Center Point neighborhood you prepared has made my life. It has helped us demonstrate to funders that we are an organization that plans, set goals, and measures success. The plan’s renderings and analysis have been instrumental in helping us bring a number of partners to the table in a big way with commitments for us to implement programs over the next five years to implement many of your recommendations. I attribute our success to the plan’s vision showing existing conditions and proposed solutions. It’s true; one picture is worth a thousand words.”

Dean L. RohrbachElm Street Manager, West Reading PA

“The Borough of Hollidaysburg hired Derck and Edson’s team of uniquely qualified urban designers for a three block streetscape project along an aging, automobile dominated corridor. Derck and Edson provided the Borough of Hollidaysburg with the tools necessary to transform this corridor into a more vibrant and inviting mixed used neighborhood. The challenges of enhancing such a corridor are many. Derck and Edson embraced the challenges, navigated the landscape in a sensitive manner, and produced a successful outcome.”

Ethan Imhoff, AICPDirector of Community Development, Borough of Hollidaysburg

We are slowly winning over support and getting the needed revitalization buy in from community leaders and citizens.”

Tom MooreMainstreet Waynesboro

Mike MerryVP of KARE (Kane Area Revitalization Enterprise)

“I would like to thank Derck & Edson for its excellent and personal facilitation of our Campus Enhancement Plan process. Your adept navigation between the campus’ short-term enhancement needs and opportunities to improve the prospective student visit and on-going student experience was excellent. The result is a very helpful and practical tool as we plan and prioritize for the future and is already proving very valuable as we engage Malone’s friends and donors around a clarified vision for the future.”
